Chrysopa castalia sp. nov. 
Figures 4, 30 
Head, thorax, antennae pale yellowish, no marks on 
head; the outer side of the last two joints of palpi is 
black; antennae wholly pale, basal joint short, tapering 
above, third fully twice as long as broad; vertex not as 
broad proportionally to eyes as in calif ornica or coman- 
che. Pronotum narrowed in front, behind about as long 
as broad, the hind border strongly convex, an elevated 
transverse ridge in front of the groove. 
The venation is mostly greenish; a couple of cross- 
veins near base, the gradates in both wings are dark, also 
the last cubital cross-vein. There are 21 costals, the 
fourth, fifth, and sixth sinuous ; the divisory cell is about 
two and one-half times as long as broad, both sides con- 
vex, and ends just beyond the cross-vein. Costal area 
not quite as broad as radial area, the first section of radial 
sector curved. Second cubital cell a little longer than 
third, six cubitals beyond the divisory cell ; gradates paral- 
lel, five inner, seven or eight outer, inner a little nearer 
to outer than to radial sector, first inner plainly bends 
the sectoral, other much less ; cubital area fully two-thirds 
of the marginal area, veins sparsely haired, but hairs 
fairly long. 
In hind wings seven outer and five inner gradates, in- 
ner ones fully as near to radial sector as to outer. 
Length of fore wing 14. mm., width 4. mm. 
One from Santa Engracia, Tamaulipas, 3 Febr. 1936. 
Type: M.C.Z. no. 28002. 
Chrysopa exotera Navas 
Figures 10, 24 
One specimen from Cuernavaca, Morelos, 20 Febr. 
1933, seems to agree with the description; face marks 
much as in C. comanche, but practically all cross-veins 
black or dark. In this specimen the two submedian de- 
pressions on the front part of pronotum are almost black.
